I assume you mean "bow tuning"?

I do not but know there are a few here that have used him! Hopefully they'll see this Topic.

His website, or PM him on archery talk. I think he still visits there every day.

816-232-2577. his name is mike and his wife is gayle. my bow is there as we speak. i used to live about 2 hours from him and have taken a couple bows there. he is amazing with his work. know though that its gonna take 3-4 weeks to get your bow back because he is that busy, which tells you something about his work. mine will be gone for 3 more. also, hes 150 for new strings that he builds (he makes some of the best strings in the industry) and tuning or a 100 if you take it in. i was traveling through mo last week so i dropped mine off and will get it done for 100 plus shipping home.

that string builder that post up here on Elknut seems legit too!

cant remember his name. he builds you a string, and tunes the bow also. a lot less expensive IIRC.

good luck.

Tom at Parkinsons Archery, they're a Sponsor here, you can see them on the Sponsors column there to the right on the Forums! I believe he still offers an ElkNut Forum user discount too. I use his strings & they are top shelf strings!

if your going to send your bow to him i would highly recommened getting mike to make some strings for ya. i sent my bow to him two yrs ago and my strings are still like new. my sons bow is on its way there right now. crackers does a great job. highly recommend them. his tuning is top notch. when i got my bow from him i shot a broadhead at 70 yds i missed my mark by 8" right. i moved my rest just a touch left and hit dead center. that was with a fixed blade head.

Crackers can't be beat in my opinion. I have bought every bow over the last 9 years from Mike and Gale. The first bow I sent him back when I was still in HS came back 20 fps faster and feeling like a completely different bow. The best bet is to just give him a call. I can't tell you how many hours we have talked over the phone about hunting and bows. The man can talk for hours and knows his stuff. ;)
